BEGN COMPLAINT ZONE

Hey I've got nothing really to say lately cause we're on tour and nothing interesting or stressful at all is happening that I can tell you about and I know a lot (2) of you are kind of upset about the whole BEGN fiasco that we designed specifically to fuck with you and you are crowding up all the cool comments that anonymous is leaving in the comments section, and since reading the comments section of LFG is legit one of the only things that gets us as a band through these long tours, talking about certain posters over dinner and in the van, I thought I might make this post and leave it up for a few days so you can all get all your BEGN posts out of your system, even thought it kind of makes no sense to have them here at all anyhow. Ok thanks.

Also some time in June I started to get the impression that a lot of religion is is like play narrated by men, setting out their view on how we should live and then presenting it as God's will. I'd like to complain about that too.

I wasn't having a dig at the band over the whole BEGN/Sandbags things in my previous comment, just that I thought I'd post here as I was not getting much response from Sandbags themselves, in the vain hope that you guys may have some clout over them.

Why would this not be a good place to post queries about a BEGN for your album? some of us have been here for ages and jumped at the chance to go for the BEGN deal.

i worked at the place that distributed the Pavement BEGN thing back in the day....that was a nightmare too but the 'exclusive' LP that came with that was at lease 'exclusive'.

i just feel i would have been happier buying my record from a record shop and getting the 7"s from you lot via email or at a show.

the ironic bit is getting a download of the RECORD STORE DAY album with the MAIL ORDER deal. i know you lot don't give a fuck really and business like this has been handed on to other peeps but show some support for the record shops you and your fans frequent.

....maybe Black Albino Bones will have a part 2 all about amazon and ebay??!

sorry...i still love you despite all this and i do come to all your shows in the london.

I`m still waiting for my 7" as well - I`m in Germany. I`m not too pleased how the whole thing turned out but that`s nothing against you (the band). The idea is still great and I`d be grateful if you did something similar next time. I`m sure it`ll work out better then.Best regards, Martin

Hey there guys. Brazilian fan here. Saw you yesterday @ SF. Damien blessed my asthma medication after the show, such an honor. Wanna show you this: http://mitomano.cesarmunhoz.com , it's partly your fault. I will be performing this one-man-show @ the garage (975 howard) this wednesay and thursday 7h30 pm, would shit in my pants if i saw you there. I like shitting in my pants. Love.

The San Francisco show was one of the best shows I have seen in a long time, and I go to shows almost weekly. I missed Cold Cave to see you guys and really feel I made the right choice. I hope you play the Independent again because it was the perfect venue to see you play. THANK YOU for coming to the Bay Area! Sorry nothing snarky or funny to say.

My friend had a spare copy of Police, 4th press, limited to a million copies, which he left by his scanner before smoking lots of crack.

Imagine his surprise when he woke up the next morning to find that someone had swapped it for a Fucked Up 7'' which no one has heard of! It's called 'David's Secret'. The cover is a black & white photocopy image of a woman in a shawl, looking a bit strange, it also has the FU logo sellotaped to the corner and it's hand-numbered 1/10.

The disk itself has the title 'David's Secret' hand written in blue biro over tipex. The reverse side features a cartoon image of a policeman.

I don't know anything about it, but am selling it on ebay for my friend. He also has a couple of test pressings (the covers are glued together and you can't get the disks out).

Full Ripe may only be granted to those who perform an ancient Essene rite that entails fusing the blood of Christ with the secret Epics In Minutes 7". The vinyl is solid gold with blank labels hand-stamped by God and is housed inside an ancient first edition copy of the Tanakh. The A-side is an unreleased, untitled track and the B-side is a live recording of Looking For God/Days of Last from a show on Mt. Olypmus.

I thought it was a split with the Pakistani Army. The A side can only be heard in reverse, and will immaculately conceive a child in any nearby virgins/accountants. Can only be.bought at the gift shop at the Florence ADX Supermax prison in Colorado.

This isn't BEGN related but goddamn whoever is sending stuff out from the bigcartel site needs to learn how to pack records. I ordered the Other Shoe 7" and I'd never seen more ridiculous packaging before. Shitty little envelope with one piece of card board. Needless to say, it got fucked in the ass but oh well, at least I got it. They make record mailers for a reason... use the goddamn things, especially when shit's going from country to cuntry.

If you're ordering stuff off the internet I gotta say I've never seen stuff packaged so well as the shit from the Grave Mistake mail-order webstore. And it arrives FAST. There's not a huge selection of items but what they do have is good. Just thought I'd pass that along and I guess I won't mention how I just want to whip the fucking piss out of each one of you with my massive cock. I seriously want to skullfuck each and every one of you (but especially if you're a chick, because I'm straight yo).
